Liquor in This County
Through Agent.
Congressman Asks That
President Tell What he
Knows About Trusts
The Swift Creek Distilling Com-
ny ’n corporation which former
ly w «9 engaged in the wholesale
liquor business in Macon, entered
ul ,| 0 ft of guilty to selling liquor
i„ this county last year through
an agent and was lined five hun
dred dollars by Judge Rawlings.
The olVense was committed be
fore the prohibition law forbid
ding the sale of liquor throughout
Georgia went into effect, but the
gnle of liquor had been for some
time past forbidden in this county
The charge was that t.he distill
ing company maintained a private
telephone line from Sandersvill^
to Macon and employed an agent
to telephone orders for liquor and
accept money hero for the same.
Tho stock "f the Swift Creek
Company was owned largely by
Messrs. A. and N. M. Block and
cus.'S were also made against them
for tho same pract ice before the
company was incorporated, but
these oases were dismissed.
In view of the prohibition law
and tin fact that the defendant
was out ol business now in this
state, Judge Rawlings made the
lino .mailer than would otherwise
have lit' n the cast'.
The I'm" was promptly paid to
the court oflicers.

late Flynt Circuit.
Washington, Mar. 5.—A reso
lution calling upon President
Roosevelt to submit to congress
all of the information that has
been gathered by the bureau of
corporat ions of the department of
commerce and labor with refer
ence to all sorts of combinations,
trusts and other giant corpora
tions, was today introduced in
the house by Representative Hard
wick.
It was referred to tho committee
on interstate and foreign com
merce, but regardless of its fato
in committee, I lie resolution will
become privileged in a week and
entitled to consideration on the
floor of the house.
Representative Hardwick and
other democratic leaders with
whom ho consulted before offering
his resolution, believed that the
president is well stocked with
much valuablo information gath
ered at the government’s expense
through tho bureau of corpora
tions. They are sure he has been
holding this back, releasing bits
of it at such times as he has
deemed propitious.
MANAGER OF HERALD
VISITS DAVISB0R0.
ANOTHER BANK MAY
BE LOCATED HERE.

Looks Like Prosperity in
That Town. v Every-
body is Hopeful.
The manager of Tins Herald
spent Tuesday in Davisboro, where
The Herald has many warm
friends and where everybody likes
to go, because one is treated good
by the people of Davisboro.
Everybody knows that Davis
boro is set in the heart of the
most magnificent farming section
of middle Georgia and that it has
tli support of tiie best farms in
this county. But one must have
lin n ;r recent visitor to know how
the business of the town is con
stantly increasing and how wide
awake the business men are down
there.
It may surprise some of our
citizens to know that some of, the
largest business houses in this
county are located at Davisboro
ami that tho volume of business
done by some of them quite equals
the larger business houses of San-
dersville or Tennille and that the
home folks can got what they
need without going away, but
such is the eas3 and one has only
to look around a little to seo it.
Moreover, the people of Davis
boro believe in their town and are
proud of it as well they may be,
because it is bound to get better
as the time goes by and it is per
haps already the best town its
size on the map.
What appeals strongest to the
visitor, however, is the cordial
treatment accorded to evorybody
and the splendid hospitality of
tho citizens. Its good for tho
blues to go to Davisboro and see
just how good it is to have a com
munity of people so hopeful and
happy and so ready to share their
pleasures with everybody who
c °mes and who take such pride in
the growth and development of
their town and community.
The Herald presents today
8 °me advertisements of some cf
the leading merchants of the
town.
Members of the Farmers’ Un-
ion of this county are said to
favor the establishment of a bank
to bo located in Sandersville and
some of them are quite enthusias
tic over the prospect of getting
it started.
While no definite plans have
been so far made it is understood
that tho.effort will lie to establish
a state bank with capital to be-
in with of twenty live thousand
dollars.
Sandersville will welcome the
new enterprise which will no doubt
add much to the business inter
ests of this section.
At a bar meeting Friday morn
ing at which Judge Rawlings pre
sided, tho following resolutions of
thanks were offered by Judge Jor
dan and unanimously adopted.
The members of our liar and
people congratulate the people of
the Flynt circuit and all admired
the distinguished judge and his
manner of presiding. The reso
lutions follow:
Whereas, His honor Judge E. J.
Reagan, of the Flynt circuit, has
presided over this, the March t erm
of the superior court of Washing
ton county, on account of t.he
disqualification of Judge B. T.
Rawlings in a number of wises for
trial at this term; and whereas,
Judge Reagan has presided witl
fairness and ability, and with
absolute impartiality, therefore
be it resolved bv the Washington
county bar that wo desire to thn.nl
Judge Bengali for tho able and
conscientious manner in which he
has discharged the duties of pre
siding judge over our court, ami
for the uniform courtesy and con
sideration he 1ms shown the bar
of this county It is the sense of
this body that the Flynt circuit
is blessed with an able an upright
judge, and one who is qualified in
tlie highest sense to perform every
duty devolving upon his high
otlice. We further feel that Judge
Reagan has won the esteem not
only of our bar. but of the people
of this county, and we feel that
his character and ability justify
tho regard in which he is held by
us.
Adopted unanimously in open
court March 6th, 1908.

Takes Strong Stand
for Prohibition.
Gov. Smith opened his cam
paign for re-nomination for gov
ernor at Decatur last Wednesday.
In an able speech he explained
the work of his administration
and expressed the hope that the
legislature would carry out every
pledge of the Macon platform.
There is nothing new in his speech
except that the governor takes a
strong slniid for prohibition and
the enforcement of the prohibition
law and expresses himself as op
posed to any amendments to the
present law unless made by friends
of the meofiire. Ilis announce
ment on this question was inter
esting and pleasing to the prohi
bitionists because when lirst
elected the governor was a local
optionist and doubted the wisdom
of state prohibition.
The governor defended his ac
tion in dismissing Commissioner
Brown and praised the work of
the new railroad commission.
His speech was well received,
though according to press reports
not so enthusiastically as were his
forinfl' campaign speeches. .

The Good Work of
The Grand Jury.
Tasteless and odorless cas-
tor oil at Sandersville Drug Co.
Whichever road you take you
meet a candidate, and sometimes
several of them, because they are
making an active canvass, most
of them, and perhaps never before
have the country people had so
many callers in plow time.
Babies have been kissed this
spring until they are hid away
now whenever a buggy comes in
sijrht, just as the valuables weio
when Sherman’s army came
through.
There never were such times in
Washington.
Any citizen of Washington
county may read with pride the
general presentments of the grand
jury published elsewhere in this
issuv, and each one of our readers
should do so because the message
is intended to inform the public
of the condition of the county
and about affairs' in which each
citizen should feel a deep interest.
The Herald congratulates the
grand jury and each member of it
on the good work done at this
term and on their diligence and
thoroughness,gnd we are right glad
| to be able to paint our friends of
the press throughout Georgia to
the report and the good recom
mendations contained in the gen
eral presentments in this issue.
